And one with a certain amount of precedence in the movie industry. At least one film (the musical 'Oklahoma') has been filmed in two formats (Todd-AO and Cinemascope). In this case, they staged each scene twice, once for each camera format. See The Internet movie database for more details.

The main problem I would forsee is the enormous differences between the two frame shapes. The director would have to plan each shot so that it made sense in both formats. It's much, much worse than the compromises directors already have to make when thinking about TV while shooting a feature in Panavision.

It's not impossible, but there's a great danger of ending up with something that's a compromise in both formats.
